About Me

I am a fourth-year Ph.D student in the Computer Science Theory Group at UT Austin. I am fortunate to be advised by Adam Klivans and David Zuckerman. I am mainly interested in Learning Theory and Complexity Theory.

I received a B.Tech+M.Tech in Computer Science from IIT Madras in 2022 where I was advised by Jayalal Sarma.
